Whether a life-long south Bristol resident or business with operations or employees based in and around Bristol, supporting local young people brings a range of benefits, from brand building, access to talent, opportunities for employee engagement and the opportunity to have a transformational impact on young lives.
This is an opportunity to join our Founder Patron family, our close-knit group of patrons locally supporting 224, and the wider family across the Onside’s network of 15 Youth Zones nationwide, who all have the opportunity to connect and build relationships through regular events.
Benefits for corporate founder patrons
- Employee engagement: Providing meaningful opportunities to give back can help build team relationships and increase employee satisfaction.
- Strengthen talent pipeline: By supporting young people to develop valuable life skills through life-changing youth work, you’re investing in the employees of the future.
- Brand building: Aligning your brand with an impactful charity like 224 shows your customers and stakeholders you’re a values-driven organisation that’s committed to making a difference.
- Recognition for impacting local communities: Youth Zones not only impact young people, but are also a positive addition to communities. For every £1 spent on running the facilities, Youth Zones generate £2.06 of social value. 97% of local stakeholders say their area is better since their Youth Zone opened.
